What do you love most about your job?
My general approach to counselling is one orientated towards the humanistic view that people typically grow when they are provided with empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence on the part of the therapist. These are the conditions found to have lasting help according to the person centered (humanistic) view of counselling advanced by Psychologist Carl Rogers. I also see merit in the psychoanalytic views espoused by Carl Jung regarding moving clients towards individuation, wholeness, and the generation of insight into unconscious forces. I love seeing clients be transformed by their visits over time as they gain new appreciations of their strengths, develop their sensitivities and improve their relationships as they focus more and more upon what is most essential in their lives.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I knew at a young age that there was something deeply wrong with the ways in which we were living. It wasn't just my family, it was the general lack of concern for one another that left so many hurting and alone in the world. I knew that I had to do something about this... But what? Slowly the answers came over the course of decades of refinement, inquiry and my own therapy, personal growth work and practices such as meditation, and yoga. Turning Towards Essence Inc exists to return people's attention towards the foundations of what is most essential in people's lives: that place of stillness, aliveness and otherness at the core of their being. I will meet you there.
Why should our clients choose you?
Have you ever wondered what to do next? Have you ever been stumped by life and felt paralyzed? You may feel caught in the pull of different parts of yourself. Perhaps you are feeling it now. There are parts of you that are more trustworthy, more essential and more core to your very being. Empowering those parts of yourself is central to my work with clients who are guided again and again in turning towards essence. Teasing these essential parts of yourself from the others often brings with it new possibilities and new directions.
